Welcome to
Thorpepark Academy
At Thorpepark we celebrate the diversity of all children and cultures.
Our academy is a welcoming, happy, caring place where we promote spiritual, moral, social, and cultural capital. We work hard to ensure that our children enjoy learning, achieve their potential and appreciate the differences that make us all unique’.
We believe that our children deserve a curriculum that is inspiring, creative and provides the opportunities to achieve their full potential. Our goal is to make them lifelong learners and to prepare them well for the next stage in their learning journey.
Our motto ‘Aiming High’ reflects the standards we expect for all learners. We undertake this by providing a learning framework that reflects the National Curriculum and is broad, balanced and meets the needs of all learners.
We encourage enterprise in our curriculum to prepare pupils for the world of work, and we are proud of the many effective partnerships that we share not only in the local community but also in the city of Hull and across the region.
Parents, carers, and everyone in the local community are invited to be part of our academy and to share in our mission to TELL THE WORLD.
Project: We Are Orchard Park
The We Are Orchard Park Project set out to explore themes of home, belonging and community pride through creative engagement with local people of different generations. With a focus on young people and older residents, the project delivered a series of creative sessions in schools and care homes across Orchard Park estate, working closely with artists Chiedu Oraka, Joe Sheehan, Harriet Jones, and other local collaborators.
The project sparked conversations around personal safety, pride of place and community care, celebrating what it means to grow up and grow older in Orchard Park. Through 20 creative sessions and three original films, the project provided people with space to reflect on their lived experiences and share what ‘home’ means to them.
A message from the Hull Parent Carer Forum!
Dear Parent Carers,
If your week has been anything like ours, it’s probably been a whirlwind of appointments, advocating, managing needs, and putting everyone else first. We know firsthand that when you are caring for a child or young ...person with SEND, neurodivergences, or complex needs, your own wellbeing is usually the very last thing on the to-do list.
Isolation and burnout are very real parts of our day-to-day lives. That is why Hull Parent Carer Forum has put together a series of wellbeing events and sessions designed entirely for you.
We want to offer you a safe, completely non-judgmental space to drop your shoulders, take a breath, and connect with other parent carers who truly "get it."
Whether you need a friendly chat, a moment to relax, or a night out to just let your hair down, there is a space for you here.
📅 What's Coming Up?
We have attached our latest Events Calendar Poster above, filled with opportunities to take a well-deserved break over next couple of months. Whether it's breakfast club our Parent Carer Celebration event or our summer "Party Time" celebration, we would love to see you there.
👉 How to Book:To view the full details for each session, check ticket availability, and secure your spot, please visit our website:www.hullparentcarerforum.co.uk/events
We would love you to be able to take a couple of hours for yourself. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and you deserve to feel valued and supported, too.
If you are feeling anxious about coming alone, please let us know, we are always happy to meet you at the door!
